SPIRIT OF TUE PUBLIC JOURNALS. The affair of the Greek-loan plunderers is not suspended even here; whilgt forAgn papers teem, and justly 'teem, With British iniquities on this score, and Woe British shame. The proceeding, it' it were to be taken as a sample of our integrity, would disgrace us for ever. But . We wish foreigners to mulerstend clearly, that they are not4to seek for real English character upon the Stock Exchange, or among loan contractors or dabblers in the funds. The Only dispute we cup hear of, among ourselves is, who is the greatest delinquent in this affair; for,- as to the propriety e xtending`that epithet generaly, (though it may apply in particular instances, par preference,) there can be no doubt. Mr. Hume !---he reminds us very much, at this moment, of. that dear, good, pious, ancient ballad, entitled Death and the Fair Lady. "Ob, Joseph, lay thy patriot robe aside ; " Thou maYist nolonger glory in thy pride." We wish we had the whole ballad by Ms; we would endea iour to parody it, in like manner, for the present melan dimly occasion. But still (end we maintain the fact in censcionapride, as we have frequently felt it our duty to eulogize the efforts of Mr. Hume in Parliament) Mr. Hume is as much above the rest of the persons implicated in these filthy transactions us " the sun is above the earth." He hairnot endeavoured to mystify matters by inexplicable statementsi nor has he stood aloof from all explanation of his conduct, as certain persons have done. He has avowed his acts, and if they are not such as might be wished, something must be allowed to the frailty of human nature, —soinething: to the nation fi.om whence Mr. Milne is sprung,--7-sOmethng to the habits of his life, (a man may be allowed to save a little money for himself, who has always been so assiduous in saving it for others) ; and, above all, his manly avowal that he .is ready to repay the 1,354/., if any two inen of honour think that he ought to repay it, does him infinite credit. God forbid that there should not be joy upon earth, as well as in Hea ven, " over one sinner that repenteth." Livery man of honour, and every man without honour, (that is, in his own condu ct ; far such men are: always most rigorously exigent upon others,) requires that Mr. Hume should refund. As to the other persom we,knownot in what terms we are to iddress them. 'What a light does Mr. Luriottis's last letter, so clear, so simple, so intelligible, throw upon their conduct. With respect to the gentleman (Luriottis) him self, we know nothing : we suspiciously observe his steps as he takes them : if he makes one awry, we shall not be remiss in noticing it; and if he falls, let him : but at pre sent he only stands upright. Ellice is silent : perhaps it is the wisest course. Burton threatens : mildness would best becoMe him. Can he deny that he snatched up the letter, of which he obtained a sight through false pretences, and burned it ; and that Luriottis collared him, and wrenched the fragments of another letter from him, while he was endeavouring to destroy that also ? The Ricardos adopt a different course—they publish : but they publish what it exceeds the powers of human intellect to under; stand. One Gordian knot is presented to Hume, and he cuts it; another to Burton, and lie casts it into the fire ; a third to the Ricardos, and, implicating and involving its threads in tenfold nooses and meshes, they strive to hide their faces behind the sc anty shads which their own net work affords them.—Times. • Two letters'on the affair of the Greek Loans will be found in another part of our paper, which well deserve ettention.—/hid. On reading the evidence taken at the Coroner's inquest held at Grimsby on the bodies of the unfortunate men killed by the bursting of the boiler of the Graham steam packet, it is impossible to repress a feeling of indignation at the culpable negligence of the owners. From the evi;. deuce of the engineer, it appeared that be neve r considered the boiler safe ; that he repeatedly warned the owners of the dungy ; and that accidents of a similar description had zwcurred more than once in the same vessel since he had been appointed. Notwithstanding these remonstrances they emnunued to run the vessel, the consequence of which is, that ivveral persons have been killed, a great rattily se verely wouigled, and numerous families thrown into the utmost anxiety and distress. Nothing can palliate such conduct. To allow a vessel of this description to take pas sengers on board; to place so many of .their fellow-crea tures, as it were, on a mine, that they knew might blow up every moment, and all this fur the sake of redoing a few Pounds, shows, on the part of those owners who knew the state of the vessel, a degree of negligence, and even guilt, for which they have moth to answer. Passengers, on em barking In vessels of this deseription, take it for granted l that the proprietors have provided proper machinery, fact, atu taken every precaution against ace/ilents. They, in have no others 'to whom they can trust, and consequently, when such fatal. accidents as that at Orinisby occur, aris ing from negligence or sordid motives, they Imo a righ h- t to call the proprietors to an account. Should a wac owner, after repeated warnings, continue to run a coach which he knew to be defective, and' a number of passen gers lose their lives or sustain some severe.injury, a Jury would give ample damages to the survivors. We see no ;reason why the case should be otherwise in regard to steam-boats. Tne great cause of the diininution of fled dente, by stage coaches, arises from the severity with which juries Visit the owners when blame is attached to them or the drivers. ,If a similar law were applied to the owners cif stems-boats;, aqd one or two made ex am p les to the rest, fewer accidents oil' this description would occur.

MANDAMUS.--THE EINO V. 1112 ItamsTRATEs OF DYVON. The Sotacrue-Gituzaar. moved for a rule, calling upon•cer tain Magistrates of the county of Devon to show eiwie why a writ of mandamus should not issue, commanding them to review the licence of a public-house within their division. The LORD CHIEF JUSTICE.—Before we hear the ground of your application, I should like to be Satisfied that we have the power to order the Magistrates to renew the licence. The. SOLICITOR,GEHERAL—The reason given by the Magis trate for refusing to renew the licence, is a reason bad in law, and so palpably absurd, that I am satisfied there is sufficient ground to authorise the interference of the Court. After a short consultation, the Lord Chief Justice said, you may take your rule, and see what you can do with it. THE KING V. T. MITCH Fla, asq.

LA u Rix yesterday, charged with having stolen a couple of pigs; and Mr. Thomas Jmuithatt Wooller (as proxy for Mr. Harmer) attended to defend him from the said charge.—lt was Mr. Woollen's maiden case in this line, we believe. Mr. W. Rhodes, of Oxford-market, cheese and buttermonger, deposed that he bought a couple of pigs of Mr. Swan, a salesman in Newgate-market, last Friday morning about , half-past six o'clock, and left them in the care of the salesman's scaleman, whilst be went to look after a porter to carry them home ; but when, in about half an hour, he returned with the porter, the pigs were gone ; and as they were dead when be left them, he was certain they could not have gone away of their own accord. The prisoner was remanded until Thursday. Patrick Meredith was charged with having stolen a sirloin of beef from a butcher's shop in Long-lane.--Committed. David Parry, an old man, was charged with having " fallen through a pane of glass" in Clotlaair, .rd. a time when lie was so drunk, and furious withal, that the-constable was obliged to get a horse and cart to carry him to the Compter. (Note, in the pa-, fish of St. Paul, Covent-garden, they keep a wheel-barraw for the like purpose.) David, in his defence said, " May it please your Worship, I am a cordwaiuer by profession, but I have not had the privilege of doing any work this long time, consequently I was obliged to fly to poor-house ; and yesterday I was out with a grant to get work if I could; but I could not; and therefore, through the means of some friends, I got a drop of drink."—He added that he was very willing to pay all the money he had for the pane of glass, " through which he had the misfortune to drop." All the money he bad was only two shillings ; and, as the damage was estimated at two shillings and ninepeure, the Alder man ordered that lie should be detained until lie made it up.

SPEED OF STEAM BOATS.--.-1.11 an American Paper which lately' reached us, we find an account of a trial voyage of the New Philadelphia, a steam-boat launched in August. She sailed from Philadelphia to Gape Mary, at the mouth of Deta ware, in nine ho urs two m i nu t e s, deducting stoppages, andreturned next day against a h eavy owe and a head wind, in eight hours 15 minute's. The dittanee is stated in Mr. M el lish's hook to be 1 0 4 miles, but the length of the line sailed over may be estimated at three or four miles more. The return voyage therefore gives the astonishing velocity of IS miles an hour, " against a head 'wind and a heavy sea." The voyage nut was a little slower, probably, because the tide was against her in that case, and in her favour on the return, both voyages having been performed at the same , time of the day. , The paddle-wheels, which are said to be of an improved centstruetion, are 14 feet in diameter, and Made el re' volutions in a minute, Their circumference, therefore, moved at the rate of 14 miles an hour; and the loss of motion from the yielding or displa c i ng o f the water was only one-fourteenth. We suspect the accuracy of this pert of the account, for in wn' e el "" we have knowit.the loss of way from this cause to amount to more than one-thirtl,..,geottritan. LEEDS MEETING ON THE CORN-LAWS. Last Saturday, at twelve o'clock, a very numerous and highly respectable meeting of the inhabitants of Leeds was held in the Court-house, to take into consideration the propriety of petition ing Parliament for a revision of the Corn-laws ; THOS. Hectare, Esq., Mayor, in the Chair. • The Criatitmax opened the business of the day by stating that he had convened the present meeting in compliance with a requi sition received from a number of highly respectable inhabitants ; and having read the requisition, with the names affixed to it, he said he should leave the gentlemen by whom be was surrounded to state the nature and objects of the measures to be brought under discussion. Mr. Rawson—The Corn Laws were enacted for 'the protec tion of the agricultural interests of this country. How far this end has been attained, I need not decide. It is also now unne cessary to prove what is generally believed, that the agricultural and commercial interests of the nation are one and the same : that if the former flourish, the latter must partake of the prosperity ; and that if the commercial interests of the country are sacrificed and decline, the agriculttiral part must share in the general ruin. (Hear, hear.) In advocating a revision of the Corn Laws, I have the satisfactory persuasion, that I am as much the friend of the farmer as of the manufacturer. The great good which I hope to see accomplished by the revision of the corn laws is moderate and steady prices, governed by the average prices of the conti nent of Europe. It appears to me that the result of a free trade in corn, with a protecting duty, so long as necessary, will be to make our prices a little lower at home, to raise them consider. ably abroad, and above all to secure, at steady prices, an abun dant supply for our rapidly, increasing population. When the prices which are paid for corn by our rivals in manufac ture on the continent of Europe approach nearer than they now do to what is paid by our manufacturers at home, it must be evident that we shall have an important advantage in the power of competition. The establishment of a settled and mutually advantageous intercourse with all the countries of the world seems to be called fur by the commercial ener gies and capabilities of Great Britain. ' It appears to use that the monopoly in corn must be destroyed before any permanent revival can be affected for our manufactures.— I think that the true interests of the land-owner will be promo ted by a revision of the corn laws. During the existence of these laws, how often has he had to return to his tenants a considerable portion of the rents he has received ? Will it not be much better for him to receive rents that will require no reduction ; and nbw that almost every article of consumption is reduced from 40 to b 0 per cent. cannot he have the same comforts with his reduoed in come which he formerly had with the largest? I wish the great land-proprietors in our country would remember what Sir Matt. Decker has written in his Essay on the Causes of the Decline of Foreign Trade. He says, " That it is a fallacy and an ab surdity to think to keep up the value of lands by oppressions on the people that cramp their trade; for, if trade declines, the common people must come upon the parish, or fly for busi ness to our neighbours : in the first case, becoming a heavy tax upon the rich, and, instead of buying the produce of their lands, having it given to them ; and, in the second case, when the consumers are gone, what price will the produce of the bind bear?" The farmers' interest is still more deeply involved in a change of this system. Under existing circumstances lie dare not enter on a lease. His eyes are opened, and he sees the peril. to which he is exposed.—(Cheers.)—If his Majesty's Ministers are not overpowered by the landed interest of the nation, I am confi dent that such regulations will be adopted on this subject as will greatly contribute to relieve us from our present difficulties. If the Legislature now pause, and hesitate to finish the work they have begun, we shall have just cause for complaint. • But I will not in dulge in any such apprehension. Mr. Huskissois and Mr. Ro binson will, I doubt not, be steady to their purpose, and support ed by enlightened statesmen, and the voice of two-thirds of the population •of the country, our cause meet prevail.—(Applause.) Mr. Alderman Doeson begged to second the resolution. The resolutions were then put from the chair, and carried use nimously. Mr. Barnes then rase, and said, a tax is imposed by the mono poly of corn upon the country equal to 20 millions sterling year ; only one-fourth part of which comes into the pocket of the landlord, in the shape of rent; the rest is absorbed and lost. This is precisely the operation of Use Corn Laws : the bread-eaters pay 20 millions a year more for their food than they would have to pay if this monopoly did not exist, and the receivers of the bread tax (for such in effect it is) only put five millions of this sum into their pockets. (Hear, hear.) This evil was the less felt when we had au unlimited paper currency, because it had the effect of lessening the value of money, or what passed for such, by increas ing its quantity ; but now that the currency is returning to a sound state, when the value of money has greatly increased, it is operating with a fearful force, and, if long continued, will either reduce the labouring classes to the lowest degree of indigence and wretchedness, or compel them to emigrate to some other clime, where their interests will be better protected. (Hear, hear.) [Here the proceedings of the Meeting were interrupted for a Wort time, by a violent pressure at the outer door, ac companied by a cry of " Adjourn ! adjourn ! not half the people can get in ;" but as the Court-house is one of the largest public rooms ,in the town, the business was suffered to proceed without . further interruption lifter a good deal of close packing.) The remedy for these evils is to be found iu such an effectual revision of the corn-laws as will place all the great interests of the country on a safe and equal footing. There is no real contrariety in the interests of the different classes, and my firm conviction is, that the country can never be truly prosperous so long as the undue elevation of one great national interest is sought by the depression of another equally important..—(Hear, hear !) I beg to move the second series of resolutions." Mr. ALOADA seconded these resolutions, which, like the first, being put from the chair seriatim, were carried unanimously, and are both substantially comprehended in the petition. Mr. CAWOOD--.-I beg leave to move the following petition be adopted. A petition, praying for a gradual repeal of the corn laws was then read. Mr. JOHN CLAPHAM, jun. seconded the petition, which was put froui the chair, end carried unanimously. Mr. TZTBY moved that the petition now read be adopted, and left for signature until Monday the 21st instant, when it shall be sent to the Earl of Harewood, Lord Lieutenant of the Riding, and to Lord Milton, to be by them presented to the two Houses of Parliament, and that the other three members for this county be requested to support the same with their votes and influence in from iAA LL was Es l carried . an rosehu ousl and JOHN i% , the, House of Commons. Mr. JAMIS HOLDTOSTK seconded the motion, which ou being put the a chair, s was received with of the will be my duty on all occasions to obey your instructions, and on loud cheers. He said, " Mr. Mayor and gentlemen,---Having the honour of being on this occasion'l shall have much pleasure forwarding, e! representatives for this county, it as much as lies in my power, the object of your petition to Parliament.— (Cheers). Gentlemen, when you last met in this Court-house. to petition.for the removal of the Corn Laws, you were in a ferent state from what you are at present. The country was then in a most prosperous condition ; the commercial and manufactu ring establishments were flourishing and extending in every direc tion ; we have since that felt a sad reverse; we have, witnessed dis tress, and in some degree eveu a privation of the necessaries of life, amongst our neighbours and friends. It is, however, incumbent upon us not to give an undue feeling to present circumstances, nor attribute to the Corn Laws too great a share in causing the cala mities we have witnessed.—(Cheers.) —These ealunities came upon us in a time of profound peace—in a time of apparently unbounded prosperity—not preceded by rather by a superabundance of all the pro ducts of a g ricultural and manufacturing industry ; so that we are a failure of crops, but the more at aloes to ae count for this suildini transition from boundless wealth to cruel want. (Cheers.) —I sin most happy to have this opportunity of attending this meeting and witnessing the unanimous feeling of the great eomniercial town of Leeds with respect to the Corn Laws. lam sure that it will have a great effect on the opinions of the mercan tile interest generally, pu blic, and I hav e no doubt, if you persevere, you will succee d . —( heere.) be i ng concluded, the Mayor on the The business of the day chair, which was taken by Mr. Alderman Dobson, on which it John Marshall, Esq,, and mended by Thomas was moved byas w ell as on the c and impartial conduct in the chair," which Mayor for hie 'able acclamation. Benyon, Esq., " That the than of this meeting are due to the motion was carried by the fortunate butcher, near the Lie _ possessed of an estate in Devonshire, in a remarkable way, gave a fare well dinner at the Roainghain Arms, on Friday last, phaiMitr.anKdinrasVe', who lately became to about forty of his intimate friends and neighbours. The dinner was excellent, the glass circulated fmely, arid the evening was spent in the most convivial man ner. The hearty congratulations of his frien ds, and the expressed regret of his neighbours, must have been highly grateful to his feelings. The neighbourhood (particularly the poor) will long have to lament the departure of ,such a man. MEETING OF DEMERARA PLANTERS• Yesterday a' private Meeting of the Proprietors of Estates in the Island of Demerara, and of Merchants trading with that portion of the British West India Colo nies, was held at the City of London Tavern,, for the pur pose of adOpting such measures as might be thought ne cessary, in order to protect their property from the effects of the Manumission Clause in the Slave Laws. The Meeting was attended by about twenty-five gentlemen of great respectability, and a series of resolutions were pro posed and adopted, recommending that a Petition should be presented to his Maje st y in Council, stating the greet injury that would be done to their property, were the Ma numission clause put into full effect. It appears that the Authorities at Demerara have, after a considerable discus- sion, come to the resolution not to act in accordance with the wishes of his Majesty's Gov ernment as far as regards the Manumission of Slaves, and the Meeting of the Planters resident in London was calle d b y circular, for the Purpose of backing the Authorities at Demer ara in their determination. We understand that .a petition is in Preis e ration, and will be submitted for the si g nature of ell. ttus, who are interested in this important question. The genes' body of Plante's, not only of Demerara, but also of. the other West India Islands, are, it is said, strongly opposed to any coercive measures ; aii,l the Proprietors of estates in Demerara having as large, if not a larger st ake titan others at issue, think it prudent to forward a Petition t° his Majesty's Government, laying before Ministers their particular case.
